Beef Stew

for a healthy and delicious iftar

If you want to make sure that you and your family stay healthy throughout the holy month of Ramadan there is one simple rule you can follow with great success. Make sure to cook and eat food made from good quality ingredients.

Keeping the ingredients fresh and free from additives and refined sugars ensures that there are lots of vital nutrients for your body to feed on. Choose only high quality ingredients to make sure the food you eat gives your body the best possible nutrients.

One example is when choosing the meat you use for your iftar meal. The nutrients you get from good quality grain fed beef for example is very different from what is in beef from cows that have been grain fed. Read more about it here.

In collaboration with OBE organic free-range beef, we have prepared a delicious and healthy iftar meal that you can easily make and enjoy without compromising your health. The meal is made with OBE organic beef, which is 100% grass-fed, free-range & GMO free.

- Turn heat to low and leave to simmer for 1 ½ hour. Check regularly if more liquid is needed.

- Stir in onion, orange and chickpeas and leave to simmer for another 15-20 minutes

- Enjoy

Serve the dish with brown rice, red rice or quinoa to make sure to give your body complex carbohydrates that release energy slowly (as opposed to white rice which release energy fast). Add a delicious filling salad to eat on the side with your meal to make sure you get the recommended amount of vegetables.
